VirtoSoftware aims to inform you about how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information (“Personal Data”). “Personal Data” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual.

Processing Customer Information (VirtoSoftware as a Data Processor)

We manage specific data, which may include Personal Data, relating to our Customers’ customers or end-users (“Customer Information”) on behalf of our Customers. We only process Customer Information as stated in the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and in accordance with our Customers’ instructions. Under GDPR guidelines, we act as the processor, not the controller, of the Customer Information.

VirtoSoftware neither owns nor controls the use of any of the Customer Information stored or processed by a Customer or end-user via the Service. Only the Customer or end-users have the authority to access, retrieve, and control the use of such Customer Information. VirtoSoftware has limited knowledge of what Customer Information is actually being stored or made accessible by a Customer or end-user via the Service and does not directly access such Customer Information except when necessary to provide Services (including responding to support requests, delivering development work, maintenance, updates, etc.), as otherwise authorized by Customers or as required by law. VirtoSoftware is not accountable for the content of the Personal Data within the Customer Information or other data stored on its servers (or its subcontractors’ servers) at the Customer’s discretion. Moreover, VirtoSoftware is not responsible for the Customer’s handling, disclosure, distribution, or other processing methods of such information.

Our Customers are the “controllers” of Customer Information, which means they oversee how such data is collected and utilized, as well as the determination of the purposes and means of processing such data. They are responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws. This information may also be subject to our Customers’ privacy policies. As the controller, it is our Customers’ responsibility to inform the end-users about the processing and, where necessary, obtain the requisite consent or authorization for any Personal Data collected as part of the Customer Information through the use of the Service(s).

As processors of Customer Information on behalf of our Customers, we adhere to our Customers’ instructions concerning the Customer Information in line with the functionality of our Service(s). In doing so, we have established reasonable technical and organizational measures against unauthorized processing and against loss, destruction of, or damage to, Customer Information.

You expressly authorize us and the service providers we use to process the Customer Information in our systems to (i) provide, improve, enhance, support, and operate the Service(s) and their availability; (ii) develop new products and services; (iii) compile statistical reports and record insights into usage patterns; (iv) use third-party services to assist in providing the Service(s) with whom Customer Information may be shared; (v) process and transfer Customer Information to the United States and other countries which may have different privacy laws from your or their country of residence. You confirm that you have the authority to provide such authorization. If you require a signed Data Processing Addendum in addition to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, it can be provided upon request.

If you are seeking access to or wish to correct, update, modify, or delete Personal Data, which forms part of the Customer Information processed by us as a data processor on behalf of our Customer, you should direct your inquiry to our Customer, i.e., the controller. If you are a Customer of our Service(s) and wish to raise a request on behalf of your end-users in connection with Customer Data, you can open a ticket on the support portal of the relevant Service. Please note that if a Customer has subscribed to more than one Service, their request on a particular Service support portal is specific to that Service only, and separate requests need to be made across other relevant Service support portals.

Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your Personal Data if you want to: (i) question the legality of the processing, (ii) challenge the accuracy of the Personal Data, (iii) restrict the processing instead of erasure in case of unlawful processing, or (iv) demand restriction of the processing while assessing the plausibility of our legitimate interest in the specific processing activity.
  5. Right to Erasure: You can request the erasure of your Personal Data if (i) it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, (ii) you withdraw your consent for processing, (iii) you contest our legitimate interest, and we have no overriding legitimate interest to continue processing, (iv) you object to direct marketing, (v) you believe that the processing is unlawful, (vi) you believe that the Personal Data must be erased to comply with a legal requirement.
  6. Right to Data Portability: If your Personal Data is being processed automatically with your consent or based on a mutual contractual relationship, you may request that we provide you with your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you may request that this Personal Data be transferred to another controller, provided it is technically feasible.
  7. Right to Withdraw Consent: If the processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time without adverse effect. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your Personal Data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
  8.

Retention of Personal Data

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Services to you; (ii) whether we have a legal obligation to which we are subject; or (iii) what is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

 

Protection of Your Information

We have implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Data. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your Personal Data. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password(s) and computer or device and to log off when using any shared computer.

 

Disclosure of Information Outside the EEA

Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or engage service providers. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States and EMEA countries, which may have data protection rules that differ from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Data.

Additional information regarding the EEA: Some non-EEA countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards. For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission to protect your Personal Data.

 

Sensitive Personal Data (Personal Data of Special Categories)

Unless we explicitly agree otherwise in writing, you should not send us, disclose, or process any sensitive and/or special categories of Personal Data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or trade union membership) on or through the Services or otherwise to us.

Signing in Using Sign-in Services

You can log in to some of our Services using sign-in services such as GitHub and others (Google, Facebook, etc.). These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain Personal Data with us, such as your name and email address.
